What is the "QR Code Payment Fraud at Restaurants" scam in Sapporo?

Question

Accepted Answer

Scammers place counterfeit QR codes over official payment QR codes on restaurant tables or in food courts. When tourists scan and enter card details, their payment information is stolen. This scam has grown across Japan. Look at QR codes carefully — any code that appears to be a sticker placed over another is suspect. If a QR code takes you to a payment page that asks for card details rather than a digital wallet, do not proceed. Use cash or tap-to-pay where possible.
